Watching Rights

According to a senior United Nations military officer, previous reports on casualties from Serb attack to the Bosnian town of Gorazde were deliberately inflated to provoke international military intervention. It raises the question how should the press and the international community deal with accounts of atrocities where journalists and human rights investigators lack access. Given what was known about the redeployment of Serb artillery from the environs of Sarajevo to Gorazde, the reports of casualties were not improbable.
